CHAPTER 104
Alyssa yawned tiredly as she stretched on the ground and winced in pain. Her back was aching terribly and her eyes were bleary that she hardly saw clearly.
She had cried her eyes out that no tears seemed to come off again. Lucas paid no heed to her cries, because to him, she was only being punished for running off to another man while leaving him in his misery.
Alyssa was hungry but wasn’t willing to eat from the food they had brought for her. She still hoped that something would happen and she would return to have her wedding with Liam.
However, as the night drew closer, she became convinced that it may never happen since it was already getting dark.
Lucas came in for another time. He stood at the door and stared at her intently. He had been coming into the room almost every five minutes, because somehow, he found it difficult to believe that she was sitting there, so close to him.
“Don’t stare at me in that manner! I can’t get enough of you and it still feels like a dream”, he started laughing aloud as he walked closer to her.
“I won’t hurt you. You’re my mate, afterall”, he kissed his teeth and caressed her cheeks lovingly.
Alyssa flinched and spat right on his face. This enraged him to the core and without having future thoughts, he grabbed Alyssa on her jaws until it started hurting.
“I would kill you if you do that again!” He fiercely while she whimpered in pain.
After some seconds, he pushed her face away while she nursed it with her hands.
Alyssa studied him silently. It was clear that he wasn’t in his sane mind because all what he was currently doing was unusual.
“Do you know how much you made me suffer?” Lucas asked Alyssa who only gaped at him silently.
“I had to suffer severe humiliation from my father who thought that I was a weakling! He told me that I wasn’t a man because I couldn’t get over you”, Lucas said bitterly while Alyssa sniffed from her end.
She could understand his pain. She also knew that the mate bond was something that wasn’t easily broken. However, she had thought that they were doing each other a favour. They weren’t in love with each other and it would have been chaos if they eventually got married like that had planned.
“We weren’t even in love with each other. We did each other a favour and you need to realize that. Look, you would find someone who you would love…”, Alyssa was saying when he held her hair and pulled it until she winced in pain.
“I would love my mate! My mate alone”, Lucas said defiantly after which he pushed her backwards.
Alyssa started sobbing again. She had no idea that Lucas would emerge and start behaving like he was doing.
Lucas suddenly started pacing around the room, huffing at intervals and glaring at Alyssa as though she was a criminal.
“Do you even know the series of things that happened to me, because of you?” Lucas accused, pointing his index finger at her.
Alyssa shook her head negatively and innocently. She truly had no idea that she had put him in a situation as severe as he noted.
“I searched for you with everything I had. For days, months and years, I never stopped searching for you. My father even tried to marry me off to someone who I had no idea of”, Lucas said and clicked his teeth in disdain.
“But you see, it’s the moon goddess’s will for us to be together, because just like at you; showing up a week before I met the intended prospective!” He started laughing hysterically while Alyssa gazed at him with visible surprise on her face.
Alyssa sighed deeply and broke into more tears. With his utterances, it was clear that he wasn’t thinking properly. How could he have gotten so obsessed with her that he isn’t willing to let go of her and move on with his life.
“Lucas, you don’t understand…I have moved on with my life”, Alyssa stuttered, hoping that he would relax and listen to what she had to utter.
“I think we have to talk…please”, she said again.
He stared at her for a while, after which he sat down on the ground right beside her.
“Are we about to talk about our wedding plan? I would suggest that we schedule it for a month’s time”, Lucas stated while Alyssa’s eyes popped out in shock.
She wasn’t expecting him to make such an utterance, especially with a serious look on his face.
“We would go back to my kingdom and I would show you to my father. He would be so excited to see that I’m finally a man and he would hail me and call me good names”, Lucas noted as a wide smile spread across his face.
Alyssa shook her head in pity. It was obvious that his father’s words struck the most sensitive part of his heart and now, everything he planned was encircled around it.
“We would have the biggest wedding of all time and you would be my mate…and my queen, just as destiny planned”, Lucas said in conclusion while Alyssa gaped at him with shock written on her face.
Alyssa sniffed hard again and wiped the tears away from her eyes.
“All those would never happen”, Alyssa stated the obvious reality, even if Lucas charged up immediately.
“We have gone too far…more than you break”, She continued and this time, Lucas let out a scream that shook the entire basement.
“What do you mean by that?” Lucas asked fiercely, throwing dead glares at Alyssa.
“I have a son!” Alyssa dropped and for a minute, Lucas thought that he had heard wrongly.
“What son?” He asked and started laughing aloud, obviously thinking that Alyssa was only joking to escape his plans.
“I’m dead serious! His name is Timothy, my son and Liam’s child. The heir to the throne”, Alyssa said, hoping that he would believe her.
Lucas staggered until he leaned into the wall in shock.
“What?” Lucas asked, with veins building up on his forehead and his eyes bloodshot in rage.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“I have started a new life and trust me when I say that this new life is everything I’ve wished for. My son is my world and his father is just the perfect man on earth”, Alyssa said with a wide smile on her face.
“No! His father is a rapist”, Lucas yelled aloud and slammed his fist on the wall.
Alyssa jerked up in shock, surprised that he would go ahead to injure himself and throw tantrums like a child.
“His father is not a rapist! It was consensual and I did it because I wanted to!” Alyssa blurted out, ready to fight Lucas if that would make him keep shut.
“I would kill him for laying his hands on my mate! I would kill him with my bare hands. I promise you that”, Lucas said and yelled again, slamming his fist continuously until his hands started bleeding.
“Stop that! Stop hurting yourself and being ridiculous”, Alyssa cried out when she couldn’t contain the current madness going on in the room.
“You are mine, Alyssa. You belong to me and I would ensure I take off anyone that would want to stand against that”, Lucas said after which he stomped out of the room.
